Decent ability to tackle thick hedges
* PhysicalI have used one of these before. The previous model Bosch I owned was my fathers. He got it second-hand. And it still lasted over TWO decades before it died on me. This new one has the same lightweight, quality feel. It’s easy to handle as it’s balanced in your hands. The cabling on this is longer than my previous model. I still recommend you get a cable extension reel to extend its range of usage. If you feel hard done by having to buy this cable reel just for this, think it will help you hoover your car and mow your lawn?* First looksIt came within 24 hours. i saved £15. I decided to set up a three-year warranty. To do so you’re required to surf the Bosch website. I entered into this online warranty form, two serial codes. These two codes are on the box it came in. One has a single letter in its number code. This other has just a string of 9 numbers only. Then I printed out and scanned my Amazon bill and uploaded it in the form as part of my three-year guarantee warranty. This proof of payment is uploaded at the end of the creation of the warranty and then if it is sorted, you can download and print the tailored to your customer warranty document for safekeeping. Bosch recommends you download and print this out. I would then staple the warranty and the bill of sale together and keep it somewhere safe.* What is it like to live with?These cutters are great. I recommend the application of a lubricant – such as WD-40 – to the blades. It’s a good idea to apply this every time you use these cutters. It’s a mild lubricant and cleaner of crusty grud. Not designed to replace dedicated oil lubricants. This one is cheaper, and i.m.h.o, just as good as the own-brand Bosch spray-on lubricant. I say this with confidence. As I used this same spray on this same Bosch model hedge cutter and it lasted over two decades! Please note, this Bosch hedge cutter is loud when you’re using it. If the hedges are wet, I suggest you wait for a dry day. They can cut more than fresh growth. It’s easy to cut verticle and horizontal level cuts on well-established hedges. Not all cutters can do this on strong growth. The way it is not too heavy helps when using it. It has a plastic scabbard to protect the blades when required to put it in storage for winter.* Any tips?My sister put me onto working with hedge cutting. Instead of putting it off and then having a single, major hacking of the hedges back, trim the hedges every few weeks or so. Why? It’s easier to carry out these minor trimming operations than to do a big chop all at once of the hedges. You don’t have bin loads of waste to deal with. And each time, this has more control over the overall tidiness of these hedges. And takes much less time than a major hack. So you’re less likely to put it off. And you’re more likely to keep on top of them.The blades on this Bosch hedge cutter are the same length as on my previous model. It feels great build quality. Please try not to cut the cable you’re powering it with! My dad and I did this a few times! I have discovered that a replacement cable for this hedge cutter can be sourced from Amazon suppliers. So if you must maintain the safest usage of this tool and cut the cable, you can buy one for less than £20. If you don’t want to buy a replacement cable, I suggest using a soldering iron, solder, insulation tape, a Stanley knife and Gorilla tape to repair it.* SummaryI expected this device to be around £90. This is based on checking with a nearby, well-known physical DIY store. The one spelt with three characters. It’s great it’s sold on Amazon at a more manageable price.

Excellent tool with shortish lead
For year’s I’ve been borrowing my next-door neighbour’s cordless hedge trimmer to trim my side of our common hedge, but it’s got very old and tired, so I thought I’d take the turn to get a new one. This is very good value for money. It’s just the right size for our smallish privet hedge, extremely well balanced, quite light in weight and easy to use. The very first time I used it, the hedge was rather overgrown, so the half-hour’s task was quite tiring, but regular trimming will be much easier.The only complaint I have about the Bosch AHS 45-16 has to do with its lead. This is permanently attached to the tool (unlike some, which have a plug attachment at the tool end), and is distinctly shorter than the leads to my other garden tools (lawn mower, leaf blower/vacuum, etc.). I can just reach the whole side of our hedge (with an extension lead), but not the end by the pavement. If Bosch had provided either a detachable lead or a full-length one, I’d give this five stars; as it is, I can only give it four.

Light enough to hold up without tiring. but still powerful enough to cut through brambles and
Light weight (2.6kg), easy to carry and operate therefore.I like it that it has a detachable power cord.This means you don’t have to carry the extra weight if you do not need to.It also mean you should easily order a replacement.Powerful enough (420W) to open corridors in dense bramble and such overgrowth.I quickly went through my way to the back of the garden.Small enough to store easily.Can’t comment about durability but so far, none of my Bosch motors (washing machine, lawn mower and streamer ) has died on me.I would consider both the corded (this) model and the one with the battery.However, the battery will add to the weight of the device making it harder to hold up and operate for longer.
